A remarkably fresh complexion that will have you cooing like a newborn.

the ritual

Activate one true teaspoon powder with just shy of equal parts water to form a soft mousse. Massage gently into damp skin with the pads of your fingertips. Rinse in the shower for ease, facing into the water and letting the stream rehydrate and wash the formula away easily. Continue your massage for another minute after the grains have been rinsed clear - often, you can feel dead skin releasing at your fingertips in this step! This is where the real magic is.

testimonials

"I just can't get over how amazing it is...my skin looks so much better on the days after I use it. Love, love love it!"

—Caitlin

"The smells is delicious and reminds me of Christmas gingerbread cookies my grandmother used to make. It gives my skin the most beautiful glow."

—Anastasija

"I have never used an exfoliant regularly before this one because I felt like they were too harsh on my skin. My skin would be red and raw afterwards and for someone who already has a lot of redness on her skin, that is definitely not what I'd want to see.

Since my skin has been on the drier side lately, an exfoliant was becoming more necessary in my routine and this one is awesome. It doesn't leave my skin feeling stripped afterwards, it just feels soft and looks brighter. My makeup applies so much better! I especially love mixing it with The Honey Mud and a bit of water to create a really nice, thick consistency. I actually look forward to exfoliating now so this will be a definite repurchase :)"

"I like taking the time to use the cleansing clay and mask…I am a male customer and these are excellent at fixing ingrown hair and razor rashes!"

—Dilip

"The best cleanser/exfoliant I have ever used! I am in my thirties and have normal-oily skin. I have been using the Clean Dirt for the past 6 months, 2-3 times a week (and there's still a tiny bit left, time for re-purchase!). I also use The Jasmine Garden before applying my moisturizer and The Honey Mud one a week. Besides lasting a really long time, I really love how my skin looks and feels. The Clean Dirt helped diminish my acne scars and it keeps my pores clean and clear from blackheads - I also noticed my skin tends to breakout much less than before."

—Emma

"…no more Clarisonic - I'm a Clean Dirt girl now…I am one of those women who have tried everything (54) and have never been this impressed."

—Sarah

"This exceeded by expectations in terms of effectiveness, leaving my skin incredibly soft, clean, and glowing. It is ever so slightly tricky to use, it took me a few tries to figure out how to add just enough water to make a mousse rather than a runny mess! Having said this, I am prepared to continue using this for the outstanding results. It's also a good value for money - I can see the bottle lasting me a long time based on 2-3 uses per week."

"I use this exfoliator every other day and it has cleared all of the gunk out of my pores, making them appear smaller. This is the most gentle exfoliator I have ever used. I don't feel like I am damaging my skin and it is made with very mild ingredients. A little goes a long way so the bottle should last a while. My acne scarring is fading from my regular, gentle exfoliation."

—Taisha

"I used the 'clean dirt' this morning and wanted to tell you honestly that that is THE BEST cleanser I have used to date."

—Kristen

The Clean Dirt

MY SKIN IS SENSITIVE AND PRONE TO DEHYDRATION. CAN I STILL USE THIS?

Dehydration often stems from stagnation in the skin and a compromised barrier that does not allow for the balanced production of your own natural oils or absorption of your moisturizers. Proper exfoliation is key. If you are particularly sensitive, leave this treatment for just once weekly, brushing it on gently. Allow to sit for a minute or two, and rinse in the shower, or by splashing face with warm water to release the formula gently without rubbing or scrubbing; also avoiding face cloths.

Immediately follow with The Youth Dew and/or The Blue Cocoon - this is vital, as The Clean Dirt essentially provides a gentle resurfacing of your complexion, allowing for the deepest, most effective penetration of your other treats. You will want to apply your oils while skin is still warm, wet, and fully receptive for the ultimate benefit.

SHOULD I USE THE CLEAN DIRT EVERY DAY?

Begin by incorporating The Clean Dirt every second or third day, increasing or decreasing as you find the rhythm that suits your individual needs. A good guideline is to exfoliate as often as you shampoo, so I most often incorporate this into my morning ritual. This seems to be the most appropriate timing for me, and also allows me to indulge in the shower for the least mess (it's worth it, I promise!). I let the formula sit on my skin while I run conditioner through my hair and scrub my body. It's the perfect amount of time, and when I rinse, massaging with my fingertips, both my hair and skin are silky smooth. Adjust to your preference - morning and night are equally wonderful.

DOES THE CLEAN DIRT REMOVE MAKEUP?

This formula removes light makeup and the daily grime. The Clean Dirt is an exfoliant, so is not to be used on the eye area. If you wear eye makeup, heavy foundation, or sunscreen, begin with The Pendulum Potion, following with The Clean Dirt. When skin is bare, go ahead and go straight to The Clean Dirt alone.

I'VE HEARD YOU LIKE TO MIX THE CLEAN DIRT AND THE HONEY MUD. WHY AND HOW DO YOU DO THIS?

This is my favorite treat on days my skin feels stressed or sensitive, but when I'm also craving effective exfoliation and the glow that only The Clean Dirt can bring.

Start with about 50/50 ratio - 1 tsp. of The Clean Dirt, 1 tsp. of The Honey Mud and about ½ tsp. of water as needed. This will come together as a soft, luscious, and totally decadent treatment that will give serious results with a bit more mellowness than a full-strength session. You can also add several pumps of The Pendulum Potion when needing a surge of moisture. Leave this on as a mini treatment for up to 20 minutes, or simply enjoy a quick massage with the pads of your fingertips, and then rinse.
